Proclamation, 


\ 




To all Brethren of our Obedience: 

Whereas : It has come to my knowledge that Master 
Masons who were affiliated with Lodges working under warrants 
issued by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the State of Ohio, 
have so far forgotten their duty and obligations to their Grand 
Lodge and their duty and obligations as Master Masons as to 
have raised the Standard of Revolution in that State, and to have 
organized and caused to be incorporated under the Law of the 
State of Ohio, a so-called “Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and 
Accepted Masons” in opposition to the regular Grand Lodge of 
Ohio, and

not been and cannot be acknowledged by any of the Grand Lodges 
of Free Masons in the United States of America, and 

Whereas : Any Master Mason desiring to become a 
member of, or retain membership in any of the bodies subordinate 
to the Supreme Council Sovereign Grand Inspectors-General of 
the Thirty-third and Last Degree of the Ancient and Accepted 
Scottisli Rite for the United States of America, their Terriiories 
and Dependencies ; must be a member in good and regular stand¬ 
ing of a Lodge of Master Masons working under the Jurisdiction 
of a Regular Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons ac¬ 
knowledged as such by all the Grand Lodges in the United States 
of America, 

Therefore : Inasmuch as the before mentioned so-called 
opposition Grand Lodge is not so acknowledged, this is to ad¬ 
monish and warn all brethren of our obedience against becoming 
members of any Lodge acknowledging said so-called opposition 
Grand Lodge, or in any way participating witli them, or in aiding 
or abetting its organization, existence or continuance, or with 
any Subordinate Lodge or organization acting under its authority, 
and all subordinate bodies of our obedience are positively forbid¬ 
den to receive any member of the so called opposition Grand 
Lodge or of any of its subordinate bodies into any of the bodies 
of our obedience under any circumstance whatever. 

Courteously and Fraternally, 


attest.
